Reference: a repeatable data entry workflow
The interdependencies between classes in the Paradicms conceptual model suggest that there is an optimal workflow for entering completely new data into a spreadsheet, Markdown directory, or other source that maps to one of the logical data models supported by Paradicms.
In a repeatable data entry workflow, we will enter data that other data depends on first, then enter first order dependencies, and so on.
For example:
- A
Collection
has a one-way link to one or moreWork
s, so enterWork
s first - After the
Work
(s) are entered, link theCollection
to theWork
(s)
Workflow
You may not need to enter new data for every step. If your system already contains data for e.g., the License
your Image
will link to, you can obviously skip the License
entry step.
Enter License
, Location
, and RightsStatement
These are classes that do not depend on any other classes. They can be entered in any order.
License
s are often pre-populated in templates and/or resolved during enrichment, but you can enter new ones if needed.Location
s do not depend on any other classes.RightsStatement
s, likeLicense
s are often pre-populated and/or resolved during enrichment.
